"To answer Frank"


Frank was quoting the content of a vision a woman who believed in 7th DA --
 
"The first tablet had 4 commandments and shown greater then the others. A greater light was on the 4 the commandment thus meaning it was the most significant commandment. Also in another subsequent vision she was told that the 1st day sabbath was a sign of the mark of the beast..."
 
And he questioned it here:
 
"One thing that struck me after watching the dovies for many years was the 4 commandments on one side and 6 on the other. 5 represents grace and God is very specific with his numbers so lop sided commandments did not make sense.  Googling Hebrew  commandment images seemed to confirm that . Also, why would the 4th commandment superimpose the 1st..."
 
I am not saying that 7th DA are correct in their doctrine, but I would like to point out that this does appear to be a vision from the Lord.
 
Here is the understanding, as I believe it to be.... and just found it confirmed elsewhere:
 
According to the Medieval Sefer ha-Chinuch, the first four statements concern the relationship between God and humans, while the next six statements concern the relationships between people.
 
Thus, the first four are wrapped up in the GREATEST commandment, while the remaining six are wrapped up in the SECOND commandment like it:
 
Matt. 22:36 "Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?" 37Jesus replied: " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' 38This is the first and greatest commandment. 39And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' 40All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments"
